​Haïdar Hamaoui, this amazing artist whom I have always been so proud, did not die. No, he is still alive in my heart and my soul. His art marvels will for ever shine and glow in Lebanon and abroad.

​

Father, did I ever tell you that you're my love, my very first one, my idol, my hero, my source of inspiration? You know so well I got a lot from you, to your admission, my looks, my passion for arts and sciences, my love for classical music, my perseverance, my generosity, my humanity and my compassion.. I've become the strong woman I am today, because of you. Daddy, I know deep in my heart that you were and will always be there for me, somewhere, whenever I need advice, support and protection. Needless to say, I miss you already.

​

May your soul rest in peace.

​

Your loving daughter,

​
